Not skunk2 stage 2s..... or stage 3
Skunk2 stage 1 = similar to Toda A, mild.
2 and 3 are a different story.
You need to consider compression ratio, tuning, injectors, stuff like that.
Cams are NOT a drop in type solution to making power. The whole head/block package needs to be considered.

To further elaborate on what Chris said, not only that, but you cant just bolt that stuff on and expect it to work right. You will need to get some kind of tuning done, and it would be good to have some adjustable cam gears as well.

Totally correct, sorry for the ommission.
Also... A VAFC or 'chipped ECU' really isn't going to do the trick.
I'm preplexed by Toda B's with stock compression and VAFCs as an example - what a waste.
It's a lot of thinking, research, time, preparation, etc. IMO, for me, its a very daunting task to do right - and to do it wrong can be a very expensive mistake.
